Visibly Transparent Polymer Solar Cells...

This work is very similar to the post I made on "Transparent, near-infrared organic photovoltaic solar cells". An organic solar cell is a type of polymer solar cell. This work shows that transparent solar cells are not limited to organic materials. These cells have a 66% transparency and efficiency of 4% so they seem to be even better than the organic solar cells which where reported in 2011 to be 55% transparent with 1.7% efficiency. It is great that there are several different technologies available for production of transparent solar cells.
